Farfrompuken,
Its just the start. Post Credit Crunch, the self-fund route has become very difficult for new ATPL applicants. Its only going to get worse. Experience it seems, is going to come at a high premium.
What excacerbates the situation is the underestimation in civil industry regarding how many pilots the service is training these days. The effect of any typical recruitment draw could be catastrophic for the service at a time when dilution is such an issue.
Was this the same airline that tried a rather, ahem, how shall I put it, a "direct" approach to recruitment on 2.1.6. Sqn recently with a leaflet campaign?
New FRI by 2013 by any chance?
